Not bad… Not bad at all… #GMTK #GameJam
Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem@nathanieljones.au · last wk.🥳 - Created a solo project to submit to the #GMTK #GameJam. Overall pretty happy with it, was nice to slap something together that was not as intensive as Dyadem. 🔧 - Going to try add a few more tutorials before the timer is up! nathanieljones.itch.io/a-slight-ove... #indiedev
🩷 - I always feel better with you around! 🔧 - In my #SRPG #IndieGame when a unit is near a bonded ally, they will gain stats! Which stats you will gain will be determined by the Ally's spirit! 🧪 - For example, Corbyn's "Patient" spirit will grant allies additional Dexterity!
🫂 - You got a friend in me! 🩷 - Finally added support for... well... Support! In my #SRPG #IndieGame, I added a panel on the left to show current bond levels! Bonded units will buff each other when nearby! 🩶 - Grey hearts mean the unit has been defeated in permadeath.
GMTK finalised... So tired... I wanna sleep forever. Send snacks and snugs please.😴

A Slight Overreaction by Nathaniel Jones

My GMTK submission is now technically a “Game.” Now to put a little more elbow grease in to make it a fun game 😅
🪲 - I'm fixin' for some bugs! 🔧 - Finally got around to fixing the battle fade bug. It messed up after the units got team colour shaders applied about... A year ago? 😅 During the fix expanded it to hide the range/arrow too! #IndieGame #SRPG
👤 - Who is that lurking in the shadows? 🎨 - I didn't like the escort icon. It was hard to see who you had escorted at a glance! So... Now it will show the character in the background and tint their team colour! #IndieGame #SRPG #IndieDev
Joining the GMTK game jam… So I will be Dyadem silent for a few days. Wondering if I should try live stream some of the development for the game jam 🫢
For anyone curious, this is the game I’m working on: store.steampowered.com/app/4294340/...

Nevermind… 22 hours later and I’m on the edge 2.4K… 😳
Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem@nathanieljones.au · 4w ago7 wishlists till 2k, Feels a little unreal. 😅
Does anyone else slip garbage into their code when stepping away to remind them where they are at? Can't leave something half complete if it wont compile lol.
🎬 - Places people! Prologue: Scene One annnnnnd ACTION! 🔧 - Converting the script for my #SRPG #IndieGame into conversation JSON. Also have been cleaning up some of the rough edges on the tutorial to make it clearer. Here is a bit of the first mission intro! (BlueSky didn't like the full version.)
It is Saturday… I could start implementing the new conversations from my script…. Or… I could play Deadlock…
Trying to do the Griffin Knight's map sprite sheet... Damn is it hard... Don't be surprised if I opt to turn it into a brown pegasus "Desert Knight" in the next few weeks.
🔖 - Who is ready for an Adventure! 🔧 - Experimenting with an easier story difficulty level named "Adventure Mode" for my #SRPG #IndieGame. In this mode you control a single "Leader" unit and the CPU will handle the rest of your team!
💰️ - Stealing? No... I consider it... aggressive window shopping... 🔧 - Needed to rework the trading menu in my #SRPG #IndieGame. It is still a little rough but capturing enemies and looting their inventory seems to be working just fine again!
⛵️ - BOAT 🔧 - Needed a frigate tilemap for a few missions in my #SRPG #IndieGame. Quite happy with the results! Still need to do a bit more work to finalize them but they are going to look great.
🗺️ - Give me a map and I will show you the world! 🔧 - I built a map for Mission 12 today. The tools I made in #Godot help making maps for my #IndieGame simple and fun... Even if I know I should be working on bugfixes today. Wishlist if you like #SRPG's like #FireEmblem!
💔 - I knew #Godot would eventually betray me :( 🎬 - Just another cutscene day for my #SRPG #IndieGame. It is always funny seeing temporary assets pop up in serious cutscenes! 🤣 On another note! Thank you everyone who has tried out the play test and given feedback, I have been going through it all!

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem@nathanieljones.au · 4mo ago😅 - ALRIGHT FINE! YOU WIN! HAPPY? 🎨 - I’ve had a surprising number of testers and comments mentioning they love the debug portraits… I won’t tell you how to activate it, but from the next build onward, there will be a way to unlock MSPaint mode. Happy Hunting! #Godot #SRPG #IndieGame
I tried #Dyadem by @nathanieljones.au! Despite bad luck with my levels and growths, I had fun with this one! I came in because it looked like #FireEmblem, and left enjoying its difficulty and its approach to tactics RPG gameplay! Give it a try if you can, and enjoy the video! youtu.be/5R8XRxTVLA0

✅️ - Now that my #SRPG #IndieGame playtest is out and updated, time to get back to work! 🎬️ - It is fun making #GBA #FireEmblem-style cutscenes, The hardest part is now actually creating the writing and stage directions. I swear, developing the conversation engine was easier!
🥳 - The new Steam Playtest Build is live! I would love everyone's thoughts on the state of the game! #IndieGame #SRPG #Playtest youtu.be/d7rNPHOp3bY
